Playing with Lifestyle Crafts Die Cuts

Does your table ever look like this?

Mine usually does when I am creating new things.  Or probably worse….

Recently I was sent some new cutting dies from Lifestyle Crafts to go with the Epic Letterpress Combo Kit. I went to town creating and playing with it. 
There are so many ways that I could use the new Possibilities die set. 

A couple pieces of advice:

  • Take a minute and read the directions.  Self explanatory, right?  You would think….but I obviously did not read them.  There’s even a “this side up” on the mat and I still used the wrong side.  Duh.
  • You have to crank that thing hard.  I had to crank it so hard that I was worried that I might break it.  But nope, everything was fine.  You can kind of feel it catch and get tougher to crank- then you know it’s cutting through.

I decided to try something a bit out of the box.  I used the Nesting frame 7 dies to make this little canvas doodad. I painted a square canvas in a bright blue.  I cut out nine nesting frames and used glue dots to attach them to the canvas.  It’s hard to tell from the pictures but I love the raised edges of each cut out shape. 


Here are a couple of other projects I did using the dies:

School supplies: Nesting Scallop Ovals    Mmm mmm good: Nesting Eyelet Rectangles

Today Lifestyle Crafts is debuting a die cut set called Possibilities with 22 die cuts.

Hi- I'm Mique (as in Mickey). I started 30days as an idea file a few years ago. After three years and hundreds of ideas, I now realize that I'll never check them all off my list. When I'm not creating, I love spending time with family and friends and long drives, especially if they end at the beach.
